Tough Times on Broadway?

We've talked here from time to time about the economic struggles facing community theatre groups, but even the pros on Broadway occasionally face money problems.

As you can read in this story from the Playbill.com website, they're postponing a revival of a show that has been in the works for a while:

The Broadway revival of Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak's Godspell, which was scheduled to co-star American Idol finalist Diana DeGarmo and Tony nominee Gavin Creel, has been postponed.

The article goes on to blame the problem on the loss of a major investor, and goes on to point out:

Godspell is the latest casualty of the new theatre season, which has already seen postponements and/or cancellations of the revival of Brigadoon; the Harry Connick Jr. vehicle Nice Work If You Can Get It; and the revival of Ntozake Shange's acclaimed play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

Godspell had been scheduled to begin previews Sept. 29 with an official opening on Oct. 23.
